On Twitter,  College Board’s Head of AP test Trevor Packer tweeted about AP HG test results, noting: “2012 AP Human Geography scores: 12.6%=5; 19.5%=4; 20.4%=3; 17.9%=2; 29.6%=1. These may shift slightly as late exams are scored.”

In other tweets about AP HG test results, Trevor Packer noted: “AP Human Geography students showed stronger learning this year than in the past–smaller percentage of 1s, higher percentages of 4s/5s. College professors say: AP Human Geo students who score 1s need more critical interpretation of maps and cause/effect focus in essays.  In terms of really distinguishing which AP Human Geo students deserve college credit, Question 3 was the most effective.  AP Human Geo students did best on the walls/barrier question (#1), while many struggled with the international migration question (#3).”
